Feast of Black Nazarene..What can you say?

[Xilcher]

i repeat, im not against the teachings of the catholic belief, but there many many people in the catholic church who are using it for their own gain and using the congregation to further their agendas..

ive already had my fair share of harrasment from these "catholic" organizations in forms of financial solicitations for programs that i dont believe beneficial to the people.. and ive already have received my share of bad publicity during mass just because i dont give funds to such events...

(also had experiences like this from INC)

ngano man sab ni tawn sila oi mag-"solicit" pa man og funds from establishments para fund para sa ila piyesta... kulang ra diay na ang love-offering kada sunday?

sinulog na next week... pila na kaha ka "solicitors" ni duol nako since dec... maski pa naa ko no-soliciting policy... gahi jud mga ulo bah...

maayu nalang ta mga katoliko.. kay mangayo donation..ug okasyun ra..
uban diha... Compulsury... ug base pa sa financial status nimo..

at least..atoa by heart paghatag..dili pugsanay..compared to other religions na.. konsenciahun ka ug di kahatag..

^ You're talking about the INC? I think it's unfair to compare a new religion to a very old one that is already established and already has a lot of money. I don't condone what the INC does presently but they aren't doing anything different from what every young religion does. They may make tithing compulsory but donations for Catholics aren't entirely optional either - children have to be baptized and the baptismal fee is not free, Catholics have to get married in Catholic churches and the marriage fee is not free. If you don't baptize your child, Catholic teachings say it cannot go to heaven. If you don't marry in the Catholic church, you are not considered married under God. So these are not optional, but compulsory in nature and they are not given purely from the heart but out of obligation.

INC is rich... by Philippine standards. The Catholic Church is extremely rich, on a global scale.

Bottomline... theres no perfect religion..

Others are basing practices by following traditions..
Others are new and collecting funds..

so therefore......simple..
kung dika ganahan sa usa ka religion..pahawa..balhin or pagtukod ug imoang group..

kay no matter unsa saway-saway..nato.. religion is just for guidance..
Ikaw mismo mag decide w/c is right..from wrong..

Bisan mag Pari..mag Pastor..o mag Imam paka..
kung kahibalo ka mag tan-aw unsay mali...
wala na problema..

Lastly... Respect!

respetuay nlng ta sa atoa mga beliefs...
PERIOD.
